Tara Choying Lhamo is an Austrian-born contemplative who has been living in retreat for over twenty years. Twelve of those years were spent high in the mountains of Nepal in one of the caves frequented by Milarepa (one of Tibet’s most famous yogis and poets). Tara agreed to speak publicly about her experience for the first time last year in London and she is now coming to Australia to share her unique story.

At The Contemplary’s request, Tara will also speak about what she has learned about the relationship between compassion and wisdom; her favourite compassion practices; and how she approaches the cultivation of wisdom as a long-term retreatant.

Tara is a Buddhist Dharma practitioner and student of H.H Chetsang Rinpoche and Garchen Rinpoche. The evening promises to be a remarkable opportunity for people of all religious persuasions (and none) to connect to and draw inspiration from a dedicated contemplative.
